All done in watercolor
Quit messaging me people. I do not care
I have a bunch of favorite artists; my all time favorite modern artist is Julian bustos!
Alex gray is a solid second favorite, I have 2 of his prints in storage, I should really get framed and hung soon!
I’m also really into blotter art I have a fairly large collection of blotter art, can’t remember any of the artists names off the top of my head but they are fun pieces.
As far as classical art; the list is very long, my all time favorite is probably Albrecht Dürer, it’s my dream to one day own one of his prints, hopefully I can acquire one before the prices get too insane, they are still relatively cheap in fine art auctions.
Rembrandt is pretty awesome, I went the Rembrandt museum in Amsterdam when I was younger and it was an incredible experience.
I’m way into sculpture and busts, this is one of my finest pieces, a museum quality Apollo bust from the 30s. I had it appraised and let’s just say I opted to go get it insured the next day.
I inherited a large collection of Patrick Nagel’s prints from my aunt when she passed away, I don’t display them tho, they just sit in storage they aren’t really my style. Still cool looking tho! And I appreciate them forsure!
Alex Grey used to throw parties and do live paintings at his place Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in NYC that I would go to long ago in the early / mid 2000s… he opened it back up not far from me in NY but I never made it back before they closed permanently. He rules and so does Tool.
Im not certain of the aritsts but this page on instagram called @vintage_scifiart has been catching my eye lately
And this rick and morty art is pretty wild
Educated guess via Google Lens before the Rick & Morty ones:
- Shogo Endo
- Nick Keller
- Nick Keller
- Paul Lehr
- Naoyuki Kato
- Kentaro Miura
- Possibly the same as 6? Seems to be a manga series called Berserk.
The manga series Berserk actually fed an insane amount of ideas to the Dark Souls series. I’ve seen a few side by sides, let me see if they’re still around
DS1 I believe
Skinner
Prey UPS
I think I was like 30ft down the wall when he was painting this one. super minimal. Guy has amazing style.
Ironically this was across the street from my old plug’s house like 15 years ago
MOTHERFUCKIN CAYPE FTK
We painted that bad boy at like 4am after a very full night of painting tons more trains
One of my favorite paintings is Pierre-Georges Jeanniot’s “Reservists” (1870):
French artists in this period were particularly good at depicting realistic settings, and many were veterans of the Franco Prussian War. This painting depicts French reserve troops preparing to board a train for the frontlines.
Timothy Doyle
Anthony F. Schepperd - most people know him from the music scene, I like the hand drawn shape shifting animations a lot
Dax Norman
Drew Struzan
(I have that literally above my desk)
I was today years old when I found out Drew did the artwork for Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath
Nice collection over at Moco in Barcelona.

Thank you for putting that out there. I love seeing a specific ICH tag and I’m gonna take a picture of it next time I pass it.
Dude is EVERYWHERE. I used to bribe the night shift of a CSX yard that’s no longer in service (Beacon Park in Allston) with weed and booze so I could paint trains several nights a week with them watching over me, letting me know of any hazards via radio. Hell, i’ve even got my safety gear they gave me. So many workers just walked by me back in the day thinking I was just there for a paycheck. Fun fact - the workers love him because he stays off the numbers on the side of the car and has become a bit of a legend on the rails because of it.
Rate (NYC/Boston)
There was one of his rats right across from my old subway stop in Boston (Roxbury Crossing). I remember looking at it every single fucking day thinking about how much I hated my job and how my time would be way better spent hustling and painting. Wasn’t wrong. Best life.
Nasty Neckface (NYC/LA)
Nekst (Houston)
This bitch was probably one of the most notorious subway cars to ever run in Boston. Red line.
I think this is at Pine Banks but I could be wrong. This also looks like it could be Sheepfold Reservation. I know I’ve been to this rock a few times though.
It’s behind (what used to be) the Naked Fish in Lynn
